Dear students,
The essay topic of the Language III final exam on
Wednesday, July 3rd, 2019 will be based on the short
stories The Legacy, by Virginia Woolf, and The
Colonel´s Lady, by Somerset Maugham. You will be asked to COMPARE Gilbert
and George.
After reading the short stories, you should try to
make a list of possible points of comparison.
You will be allowed to have printed copies of the
stories and monolingual and collocations dictionaries.
You should read our notes on the comparison and contrast
mode of development and pay special attention to the two patterns of
organization of comparison and/or contrast essays and to the use of connectors.
Please, check how to use the connectors in context. You should also revise our instructions
for Introductions and Conclusions.
Your task will be to write the outline to the
essay, and a four-or-five- paragraph essay, with an introductory and a
concluding paragraph, and two or three developmental paragraphs, depending on
the pattern of organization you choose to use and the number of comparison
points you include.
When writing the outline, you should follow the
conventions we agreed on in class, like expressing the thesis statement and
topic sentences by means of full sentences, and the supporting items by means
of noun phrases.
Looking forward to seeing you on Wednesday.
Warm regards,
Prof. A. Argerich
